Louisiana Gulf?

[oneshot]

Was thinking going down to Louisiana Gulf fishing for Reds and Trout from the bank and Swimming to keep my wife happy.

Well went through finding where to go and place to stay. Then reading more found not advised to eat fish or swim in most the waters because of pollutants.

My wife says she will be more happy just going to our Cabin at Truman Lake.

Thoughts Guys???

Go to the cabin, catch crappie, walleye and catfish and be happy.

I think my wife would be happy. Be heck to drive 12 hours only to find a mess.

Be nice to go up there Moral Hunting but going to be busy with Radiation. Be done when Squirrel Season starts.

There’s not a lot of swimming in the Louisiana marsh. Lots of alligators. Soft mud bottom. Stingrays, jellyfish, and crabs. 
 

I think y’all could have a a Great time, but you need realistic expectations.

Oh we use to live down there. Before I got down last Fall had a Houseboat rented my wife was ready to go swimming off it.

I got family down there. A few in my Family are no longer welcome in the state.

She likes swimming in Truman. Just hope it isn't flooded like last year.

Mississippi delta is and environmental disaster these days...It is a death zone. Oil & Gas, Timber, Flooding, Erosion, less rice & more crawfish. Chems & Nastiness running down the Mississippi and bad land use causing coastal erosion. plus global warming...LA has few ducks, less rice,   and game fish, oysters & shrimp are in a rapid decline. They are forked..Same with South  Florida. Red Tide is killing both coasts.

When we lived there Paper Mills was the Big thing and several Oil Rigs. My Kids hated Catfish and Rice all the time. TV was mostly Cajun French. My wife was all the time asking what they was talking about.

Found a lot of White Folks were very crooked.

Give me some basic directions and I will look for them and drop them off to you.  I do like them well enough but I enjoy hunting then even more.

Fished for Reds in Nov,  in Lafitte and in Venice.  It was a blast and will do it again.  Caught a bunch of Reds and Sheepshead even a few stingrays.   Not sure how the bank fishing would be.

Did you eat them and would you swim on the Beach?

I did a search on fishing from the bank seems to be good from some spots using Shrimp catching 16 inch +. Much better during Winter but my wife is wanting to swim.
